Dear Muriel
You have been part of my life twice, with a long gap in between. I am not directly related to you, but am the niece by marriage of your older sister Mary. I remember you first when my grandma, Ethel Hollingworth, stayed with you and Bill at Marsh, and I used to visit her there. You and Bill were so kind to her in her last years. That is over 40 years ago.
Then a couple of years ago I visited you with my cousin Joy, who was visiting from Spain, and since then we enjoyed many lunches out together. You loved the carvery at Ainley Top and sometimes we would get your favourite milk ice cream from Dixon's at Lockwood on the way back.
I loved to hear your stories about your long life and how you became a part of the Hollingworth and the Weaver families. You spoke so fondly of your family and grandchildren, and had very happy times with Bill. Your memories of early childhood were heart breaking, and a part of history; your mother died due to a gall bladder operation, followed by your father soon afterwards as a consequence of the 1st World War. So you were orphaned at only 6 years old and went to live with relatives. Juliet, your granddaughter has since told me that you were away in hospital being treated for diphtheria when your mother died, and came home to find her gone. But you went on to find some happy times in life.
I will remember you with great affection. I send my best wishes and condolences to all your family.
With love
Linda
So many happy childhood memories of holidays spent at your and Bill's house in Overton and Hook. Sorry we didn't keep more in touch after I came to Spain, but José Antonio and I loved visiting you whenever we went to Yorkshire and greatly enjoyed hearing your stories about our family. Lots of love from the Lorente family.
My beautiful guardian angel, I love you so much and miss you every single day. My little angel it was always such a pleasure to come and see you and spend a few hours with you listening to your little stories and running errands for you. If I could only turn back the clock and spend one more day with you and say a proper good bye. At least now you are at peace, the day god took you he gained so an amazing angel. Keep on flying high and keep on smiling. I hope I can make you proud. I love you so much grandma X
I cared for Muriel at White rose House and it was my absolute pleasure to do so. Her smile lit up any room she was in. My deepest condolences to all the family xx
The first time I met you when I came up with Juliette, I was astounded as you already had a framed photograph of me on your shelves - and I hadn't even met you before: that was fast work! I have ,many fond memories of our outings - and I remember your chuckle too! Rest peacefully now... lots of love, Andrew xxx
I will always remember the memories and laughter that we always had when we visited and how I had to bow down to you to give you the biggest kiss, those memories will never change. You may have been my last grandparent but for that I have memories.
So I bow down to you one last time, Rest In Peace Gramdma xx
